Pig Neurons in Human Brains? The 2025 Reality Check on Neuron Xenotransplantation—Breakthroughs, Risks, and What Happens Next

What exactly is neuron xenotransplantation? Neuron xenotransplantation is the transplantation of neurons or their precursors between species, most realistically from genetically engineered pigs to human patients. It’s distinct from allografts (human‑to‑human) and from organoid research that places human cells into animals for

Vertical Solar Farms: How Bifacial Panels Are Revolutionizing Solar Energy in 2025

Imagine solar farms that stand upright like fences, capturing the sun’s rays from both sides and sharing land with crops and livestock. Vertical solar farms – essentially solar panels mounted vertically (90°) – are emerging as a game-changing trend in renewable energy.
